[Bug 1776800] Re: Unable to start snap applications if user's home directory is not /home/$USER

[Alberto Mardegan]

Small update: we have now merged a change that allows snaps to work on
system where the users' home directories are not /home/<user>/ but
/home/<some>/<path>/<user/

If you are running such a system, you are welcome to try out snapd from
our edge channel:

    snap refresh --channel=latest/edge snapd

then configure the homedirs location using the command

    # Real homes are located in /home/users/tom, /home/losers/dick,...
    snap set system homedirs=/home/users,/home/losers

Please report back on your (mis)fortunes. :-)

If your home directories are located somewhere else (not under /home),
please subscribe to https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1620771
instead.
